While the OP article is indeed unhelpful and unconstructive, it's a pet peeve of mine to see people reference this quote (in the context of any language, not just C++) as a way of deflecting criticism. Not all languages that are used get complaints in equal proportion, and finding the constructive complaints is how we work towards making all languages gradually better.

It's because they are not used in equal proportion.


Presumably "equal proportion to their use" is implied.
